[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3524921, member: 15054"] There is a start load for most and a max load just go with the start load . If I had them and shooting in .308 i would try 44gr BL-C(2) and 42 gr of 4064. In a good modern bolt gun 30-06 I have used 52 gr of 4064 for years with many 150 grain bullets. Reduce it to 48 gr of 4064 and see how those long ones group. For the ball powder and 30-06 I would try 48 gr and go up from there. 30-06 is a very down loaded round as far as load data out there is concerned. That is due to so many old style rifles that can't take it like a newer rifle. Those above loads should be mild in a 30-06. My modern 22" barrel 30-06 sends 155 gr bullets to 3176 fps and I have been to 3200 in 100 degree heat. I reduced that load and got the 3176 and zero issues at 100°+ temps. H4350 The bearing surface if much longer on those. I hear they ricochet so be careful [/QUOTE]
